You should have expected it was a trap. When you decided to visit TAP again after the Windtraders told you a shadow was hovering the Kinglor's forest. It was impossible, TAP could not emit a signal from John Mercer's office, the man was dead months ago, underneath a facility. But you were wary, and also worried, so you and Solek decided to still check.

Of course, it was a trap, and you got taken away, losing a part of your songcord during the battle when Solek grabbed your hand and tried to pull you away from the Mangkwan holding you, letting you hanging and thinking Solek died underneath all the explosives, little did you knew, the man was mad, ready to throw himself into battle to get to you.

You were trapped and locked in a cell, with no informations about Solek's survival or even about the others Sarentu survival, you knew they were able to handle themselves, but were they really? You always had been the one fighting the RDA and taking down facilities.

But this fear became terror when you were tied to animal bones inside the Home Tree, still burning, unable to get away, and even less with the gaz in the air making you unable to stay awake. That soon stopped when Solek was able to pull you out of the Home Tree, holding you in his arms securely and hiding you into a clearing to fight the last Mangkwan on his way for revenge and for your safety, Wukula.

Once the fight ended, you finally had your spirits back, and followed Solek's scent trail to the fight area, ignoring completely the Mangkwan, you rushed to Solek's side, shaking him awake, and helping him sit up, you were observing him for major injuries, only to find the half of your songcord wrapped around his bicep, you eyed it, but said nothing, until he noticed your gaze, avoiding yours and slowly unwrapping it, and putting it inot your hand.
